>[!note]- on using the jd system
>loved the sense of control this system gave me. i felt like i had a clear overview of *all* my data, even pinterest boards and bookmark collections. two major issues:
>1. system felt too “big”. flattened any prioritization, overwhelming.
>2. reorganizing required a ton of tedious renumbering work. never felt like i had it quite right. since the point of the system is to use it across apps, restructuring in obsidian also meant renaming my email tags, drive folders, etc.
